Multicarriermodulation Received signal is a sum of signals which arrives to the receiver on different paths. Copies of the original signal reaches the receiver with different power level, different delays and are shifted in phase. It causes overlapping (interference) of transmitted signal elements. Interference level depends on length (duration) of channel response and transmission speed. Inter-Symbol Intereference (ISI) reduction is possible by employment of multicarrier transmission - OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing).
Multicarrier modulation- OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Type of multicarrier (multitone) transmission) Available bandwidth of the transmission channel is divided into many (N) narrowbands (subchannels). Data is transmitted parallelly in selected subchannels Subchannels carriers are orthogonal (gap between carriers is f=1/t m, where T m is a duration of modulated element) Signal generation and reception are realized using Fourier transform algorithms (IFFT in transmitter and FFT in receiver)
Multicarrier modulation- OFDM Channel with multipath propagation, max. channel response duration max =224 s System with single carrier transmission speed Rb =1/T b = 7.4 Mbit/s. ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference) level : max /T b = 1600 Multicarrier system (OFDM) Data stream with speed R b is divided into N parallel sub-streams, each of speed R mc = 1/T mc = R b /N. ISI is reduced to level: max /T mc = max /(T b N) For DVB-T (number of carriers is N=8192): max /T mc =0.2

Multicarrier modulation- OFDM OFDM advantages Reduction of signal distortions caused by InterSymbol Interference(ISI) Employment of slow bitrate parallel transmission instead of high bitrate single stream transmission cause extension of modulated element duration to the value related to channel response length. High spectral efficiency High flexibility enabling system optimization from point of maximal transmission speed. It is realised by proper allocation of power and modulation format in frequency subchannels.
Multicarrier modulation- OFDM OFDM Disadvantages Susceptibility for signal fading (loss) Precise synchronization reguired Special training sequences and pilot signals are used. Cannot be used in nonlinear channels where constant envelope signals are required OFDM signals characterize high amplitude changes.
Multicarrier modulation- OFDM DMT is a type of OFDM modulation and is used in DSL (Digital Subscriber Loops) systems. DMT use 224 carrier in downlink direction (downstream) and 32 carriers in uplink direction (upstream), the gap between adjacent carriers is 4.3125kHz 61
